fafn -. mi ancr mmemm CORRECTIVE ACTION:

The immediate corrective action was to regain power to the unit substations l A2 and 182. This was possible because load was added to the substation in increments rather than all at one time. Tnis was a result of non-vital load trips needing to be reset after the initial loss of power to both substations. The defective overload device was replaced on September 11, 1984, and was tested to manufacturer's specifications.

The preventive maintenance history on this breaker indicates:

1) A, B, and C phase overload devices were replaced on March 10, 1980 because they were unable to meet manufacturer's specifications.
2) A phase overload device was replaced on March 23, 1984 during scheduled maintenance. As a result of a long time delay it was not able to meet manufacturer's specifications.
3) Post maintenance testing on September 11, 1984 found A phase overload device out of specifications, and unable to De adjusted to manufacturer's specifications.

The defective overload device was sent to the manufacturer for analysis. The overload short time delay mechanism was found to be jammed. A foreign object was removed from the ratchet gear of the short time delay mechanism. Tne overload is not a sealed device and the source of the foreign object is unknown. It was not identified wnen the device was examined at Oyster Creek and could have been from the packaging material used during shipment of the overload to the manufacturer.

The as-found tests conducted by the manufacturer revealed that the overload short time delay was longer than specified. The manufacturer rebuilt the overload device and as-left tests proved acceptable. The manufacturer recommended that the overload devices be stored in the vertical (same as installed) position. A preventive maintenance request has been initiated to accomplish this method of storage.

Oyster Creek will continue the preventive maintenance program for this type of overload device as part of circuit breaker maintenance. The program includes a maintenance and failure history, with NPRDS reporting, when required. No additional action is anticipated at this time.
